IS extremists ‘have failed with women’ says Johnson

Boris Johnson has branded religious extremists lured by organisations such as Islamic State (IS) as “wankers” who are obsessed with pornography.

London’s mayor, who is to stand as a Conservative parliamentary candidate in the general election, took aim at Muslim fundamentalists, suggesting they were young men who lacked self-esteem.

Citing an MI5 report into Muslim extremism, Johnson said: “If you look at all the psychological profiling about bombers, they typically will look at porn. They are literally wankers.
